Field definitions

Field

Description

Archive Directory Location

Directory on the reports data warehouse server, where you want to store the archived files

The archive directory location must exist on a local drive.

Domain name

Domain for which you want to archive data

Retention Period (Months)

Number of months for which you want to retain data for a domain

Notes:

The retention period for the JOB ACTIVITY domain must be the maximum. All other domains can have their retention period equal to or smaller than this domain.
You must consider the space available in the secondary storage location while setting the retention periods for the domains. For example, if you want to retain data only for a short period, such as 3 months, you must ensure that the secondary storage location has adequate space to store the archived files.

The settings saved on this page are also used by the archival job when you run that job from BMC Server Automation. For more details, see Archiving data by using BMC Server Automation jobs.
